The
Christmas Giving Tree
Thank
you for your support of the Giving Tree program that allowed the Parish to help
families at Christmas. Once again Parishioners were very generous and we were
able to help 105 adults and 111 dependents in our community. A value of $19,619
were collected in gift cards.
St.
Dominic’s elementary school donated $2500.00 in gift cards in addition to
helping families in their school. They also did a food collection for our
pantry. St. Paul Secondary School took on seven families and provided food and
gift cards as well as the other families they supported within the school. It
is wonderful to see the family/school/parish support that we can achieve in
this community. Thank you to the teachers, principals: Julie Tollis and Jim
Horvath and Chaplain, Jim Mc Levey.
The
recipients were truly touched by your generosity. They included single parents
who did not know how they were going to find the extra funds; families dealing
with crippling illnesses that takes all their money and resources; people who
have lost their jobs; families who have lost their parents; new Canadians; and
people who cannot make ends meet on their meager incomes. Thank you for your
support of community outreach. Each food gift card, $5.00 coffee card and card
to buy toys or gifts makes a huge difference.
When we all work together, we can accomplish much in Christ’s name.
